Actionable Business Intelligence capability

ARC dashboards give you the flexibility to choose the amount and type of information that you require based on your role. Hence, drilling down to greater levels of detail, sorting information based on attributes or dimensions ensures that only relevant data is displayed. With ARC you can also set up alerts for critical events or define rules for alerts to be triggered on the basis of certain metrics. Report outputs can be burst (splitting the output from a single report into multiple reports) and distributed across the enterprise to specific individuals through emails.
